The souls (idc that’s what I’m calling them) being left outside boss rooms is AWESOME. That is very generous thing for them to give players.

[@MrXSwiiZ]

Me too..

[@HaydenHero]

@@mariostraussvonhohenzoll9837 that’s the one thing I really like about this game. The controls transfer over perfectly from Soulsborne games

[@YureiOni]

When I started playing, I learned that perfect parrying was going to be the most essential skill to learn throughout the play-through that was going to help me the most during boss battles and just trudging through regular enemies. So I mainly focused on learning how to do that. I would pick a particularly hard enemy and just practice over and over with the perfect parry until I was able to do it more times than not. This helped me immensely against the later game bosses. Especially the very final boss in the game which allowed me to beat him on the 6th attempt after learning the attacks. Perfect parry is absolutely the most valuable skill to learn and get down in this game.

[@alelabdallah7597]

Same just picked up the game yesterday 3rd boss i refused to use a summon and purposly didnt doge the whole fight and only used parry till it became second nature helped alot

[@rodmondh]

Yea I didn't doge him either however I used a summons not fully knowing what I did till it was too late! He didn't even touch me as he was too busy hammering the summoner😂

[@yodel96]

And it's also the most fun mechanic!

[@mirahgirl01]

It really is fun when you learn their movesets. That's the main thing I just beat elden ring my first souls game is every boss I go in expecting to fail but learn the counters

[@denisbasic6597]

[@ezgandalf676]

Parry tip: Use the dummy’s at the hotel and get the timing down. They do a small wind up and a fury attack. Helpful if you’re a panic button tapper during the windup of an attack

[@rodmondh]

Yea I'm not too good at these games but am in love with this game & found myself on those dummies for several hours until I could perfect block about 90 percent of the time & then I proceed into the levels

[@alexandrebrochu4265]

For assembling weapons... Weapon head will define the strength and type of attack affinity (slash or stab). Handle will define the scaling (motivity, technique, advance) and the moveset. The handle will also affect the damage type in the way that a handle with a stabbing moveset will result in less damage with a weapon head that has lower stab affinity than slash.

[@DoubleDrayco]

I'm not sure if I need to be upgrading blades or handles more often...I'm using a technique build with a rapier. Do I upgrade the blade or the handle to get more damage?

[@Beer_Wolf]

If you're struggling with the game a Motivity build with health, stamina and carry weight pumped up to 25-30, rest into motivity, can get quite tanky making it a lot easier to survive multiple hits while hitting like a truck. Equipment-wise put on more physical resistance whenever you can, currently sitting at 180+ base with an additional 50'ish from equipment sitting in my level 80s.

[@Blackyycchan]

ill be using that in my playthrough, thanks!

[@ezgandalf676]

Idk if it’s in the video but you can fast climb ladders from holding sprint as well. Common thing in souls-like games but I bet some of you guys didn’t know

Thank you for not spoiling! I seen other videos like this where the creator showed him kicking ass in the whole game every boss etc I was so mad it was spoiled for me do thank you!

[@gamerwolfKO]

One thing to note for weapon crafting that I’ve noticed, it seems that there may be motion values for damage. For example you can put the electric coil head on the salamander dagger handle and have similar damage when inspecting the weapon, but in practice you will deal significantly less damage. Alternatively instead of motion values it could be that putting a blunt blade on a slashing/piercing handle causes damage drop off. More testing will be needed I suppose. Food for thought.

[@elizabethsousa9945]

No wonder it felt weak at +5

[@jeffmanning2195]

I will never touch raid shadow legends specifically because so many KZbinrs have ads for it

[@ryanheatherly3631]

It seems that if you die again with death ergo on the ground, the death ergo will be teleported to your most recent death spot - but it will be reduced by half.

[@rodmondh]

Yea using Geminis protection right before death or before your pretty sure your going 2 die has saved me alot!

[@mkyhou1160]

I have gone through with a technique build and no parrying just rolling. It works fine - esp once you get the amulet to roll with any stamina. Trident is awesome. I’ll probably try a parry run though when I’m done. Point - if you don’t like / normally don’t parry, this game is still very playable.

[@jeremiahclark2033]

Just to add, this game has a bug that if you perfect Perry and they're attacking multiple times just hold in the perfect Parry block button and it will perfect Parry all of the moves in that hit combo

[@AlteredVisioned]

Doesn't work any more I think

[@Koki-Confused]

Yeah, doesn't work anymore.

[@jacobgreaf2481]

It should be noted that unlike the perfect deflections in sekiro, or parry timing in dark souls. the perfect parry timing window is activated by when you press the block button. If the attack were to hit you within the window of time right after activating block, it will trigger a perfect parry. So just like the other games, you will suffer more if you spam block, it is going to be significantly more advantageous for new players to learn to press block as few times as possible when trying to catch that parry.

[@mkv2718]

that is not “unlike” Sekiro, it’s EXACTLY like Sekiro. it’s probably where they got the idea from. Did you actually play that game? Sekiro doesn’t play like Dark Souls really at all…

[@Beer_Wolf]

The weapon combination system you need to take note of the stats of blades and hilts where it shows "=", "-" and arrow down icon for Slash and Stab under Attack Type. If you apply a SLASH ONLY blade to a STAB ONLY hilt you'll do less damage, and vice versa, for example.

[@n3crobard]

Yes, thank you. This is such a huge deal, it's crazy they don't make a bigger deal about it in the game, you can easily double your damage on some attacks if your hilt and blade are aligned.

[@TheVDaddyo]

Great point. Is there some where this is explained?

[@Beer_Wolf]

@TheVDaddyo it's straight forward, just match the attack types between blade and hilt.

I AM THE GUY WHO DODNT KNOW HOW TO RUN! THANK YOU IMMENSELY BROTHER!!!!!!❤

[@RobK-rl6sn]

I think it's incredible that people can't figure something so simple out. Even just to accidentally run across it. The game teaches you how to hold X to enter into your belt. Giving you information that they have implemented mechanics that require you to hold buttons. The charge attack requires you to hold buttons. The handle Fable art requires you to hold buttons. On top of that so many other games require you to hold the Dodge button to run which is exactly what lies of P does. This is why the developer makes no mention of it because it's such a common mechanic and video games I think they just expected people to get it. But what they don't know is a lot of Americans are buying this video game and honestly Americans are idiots. I know I'm one of them

[@You_are_bananas]

[@HaldorHelmers]

when the mobs become red you can also stop them by using a charged attack

[@arkhaminmate7957]

Lies of P is an amazing game. It is by far one of the best souls like games I've played in a long time!

[@killaninjaro]

@Ebontis Another thing to do with weapon assembly which I feel might have confused people with your explanantion is that the weapon handle not only can determine your scaling and fable art but the weapon handle is also what determines the moveset. So not only do you have to think just scaling but also the moveset that comes with said handle. No disresepect being made, I just feel it wasnt explained very well, for me at least, that the handle is also what determines your moveset. Also another thing I would like to add is that the blade in which you choose to equip with said handle will also determine its attack speed and range

[@BurningWithFlames]

A quick tip that I found out is by going into the practice room in the hotel and come out your fable should be fully charged. I didn't notice until I began with no fable and came out with full fable. I also noticed if you died and you didn't pickup your ergo back up, the skill which lets you do a perry with the handle, will use up a fable when you miss. Now if you picked up or have your ergo intact, using the perry skill will allow you have your fable if you miss. That too is something I learned.

[@leelegendary]

Can't remember if you mentioned it, but there is also a jump if you run and use L3 on PlayStation. This way, you can miss some of the falling bridges and booby traps.

You can break stronger enemies weapons as well including bosses if you get enough repeated perfect parries.

There is something u forgot to mention which it did happen to me early in the game. Sometimes when u fix your weapon (durability) u forgot the square down and try to heal but it won’t work so u have to switch it up! “Trust me this is important!” Always remember to switch it back! 😊

[@YurBoiZeus]

Dont worry about the run thing guys. I didn't know you could jump until Chapter 5 😅😅

[@tylerwarwick7975]

I may have made my life more difficult than I should have by chosing to go a more technique oriented build for my first playthrough because all the early game weapons seem to be scaled for everything other than technique but I'm having fun with the decent stamina pool and the lighter more dodgy playstyle. Although having said that I may not be able to take too many hits but I can run, dodge, and attack quite a bit before depleting my stamina completely, so it's not a total loss.

[@jeffreybito]

Yea that part about to run hold down “B” I did not know until I watched this video. Just beat the second boss before I learned that. Thanks for the tips

[@ArkngthandArchive]

[@andreschumann7327]

@14:15 - if you die again then the ergo gets halved from the original amount (in this example, 371), you don't lose them all. Not sure about NG+ but this is how it works on a fresh save.

[@ferrata1169]

You also can jump in this game by pressing left stick while running

[@MantraHerbInchSin]

I don't understand how so many didn't know about running. When you started the game you have the controls on the right side of the screen after all

[@Emo4Boyz]

Needed this. This is my first souls type game. Super excited!

[@djultomega]

Worth noting: alt weapon adds to weight (probably could have shown heavy if you equipped it). But unequipped inventory does not - so there's not a weight reason to leave items in storage.

[@mikeconner3684]

Totally ruining the game for those of us who can't pull off the bug. Lies of P is a great alternative!

[@creepyuncle542]

Very useful guide. I was hoping you'd go into fable arts more. I'm unsure how to use them properly.

[@kornelobajdin5889]

For the first tip. On pc I use sekiro settings. Shift for dodge and sprint and parry on right click. Its easier to time it like that.

[@Celdorsc2]

Thanks for the video, specifically for managing to avoid spoilers. I am about to start my adventure. It seems strength-like build is what I am going to go for. As to run-button, I am quite surprise people find it after many hours in the game. Usually, they give you tips at the beginning. If not, I always check what's assigned to buttons :)

[@SynthwaveVette01]

I've never played a souls game before, and am more of a casual gamer, so thank you for this guide! The game is painful and confusing so far, but hope I'll get a bit better.

[@mkv2718]

i like that the backstep is actually useful to dodge with. almost as good as the Remnant backstep. but the Souls backsteps, even in ER, NEVER go back far enough to ever get out the way, plus no I-frames…. i don’t think this one does either, but it has good distance, and quickly. only Remnant has an I-frame backstep, which is why it’s so good there. almost a completely neutral dodge edit: what they should have done with durability would be to make your weapon do some blunt dmg when it gets lower, so for edge weapons it would mostly be the same as it is now, but then blunt weapons would actually do MORE damage before they were about to break, so it would provide to “risk + reward” with the system. or at least have that as one of the p-organ options.

[@hollinsd]

On my third playthrough now. Trying completionist. Haven't really played any other Souls games. Really wanted to play Sekiro, but still haven't. The toughest boss for me was probably the Green Monster in the Barren Swamp. I had to make the most attempts against him anyway. But, the Nameless Puppet might be the hardest. If you have the correct armor and the correct weapon the bosses are mostly manageable... with the help of the specter.

[@kenethernandez6246]

For the swamp monster if you parry him when he starts running in second phase he becomes a lot easier. If you have a hard time parrying his run attack use a handle with perfect defense and it will be a lot easier. Trust me. I struggled on that boss as well and tried using that handle for my second playthrough and the boss felt significantly easier.

Your weight also affects your stamina regeneration speed.
